Chapter 265 Jump in
"Hey, the attack of ten thousand enemies is effective!"
The thieves on the mountain covered the mountain closely followed each other and attacked and charged again. The firepower on the mountain was once again beyond their expectations. Ten rows of gunmen were hidden behind the walls on the mountain. The Suining Township Warriors had 3,000 muskets.
They also have artillery, ten thousand enemies, etc.
Fortunately, the rebels had protection this time, so they chose the soldiers in the camp as meat shields. Although they were hit by the platoons behind the wall and slashed by their own veterans, they were not dead yet and could even bury the army and rush to the earthen wall. This was very valuable.
The eyes of the thieves were shining in the eyes. In the past, they used hungry people to be cannon fodder and flesh shields to attack cities. There were often thousands of hungry people who died or injured, but no real thief was injured or had few casualties.
Judging from the current situation, we must catch some hungry people to make meat shields in the future.
Seeing the smoke filled the other side of the mountain, the trench was shrouded in the vast white mist, and I couldn't see anything clearly. I saw only the shadows of people, and the fires burst out from time to time, screams and shouts of killing were shocking, and the war was very fierce.
Zhang Xianzhong frowned, his face was gloomy, and it didn't matter if he was raising his wife to death, but depending on the situation, the veterans and soldiers in the stance may have suffered a lot of losses. He estimated that the sword and shield hands and soldiers had suffered more than 10% of the casualties, which could be said to have suffered heavy losses.
Fortunately, as long as you attack the wall, the good soldiers and guns over there can make up for one or two.
Sun Kewang rode his horse beside Zhang Xianzhong, with a expressionless face. The war on the other side of the mountain was fierce and cruel, but it could not stir up any turmoil in his heart.
He was not old, but he had been on the battlefield for many years. For him, it was too common for him to die. Moreover, the soldiers in the camp and horse camp are still dead, not even old camp, which is even less important. As for the support of servants or hungry people, he doesn't even count them in his heart.
What he is paying attention to now seems to be useful for ten thousand enemies. It seems that in the future, whether it is siege or field battle, ten thousand enemies can be used greatly.
Li Dingguo looked over there and felt strange and novel. If the opponents he met in the future were like this, the combat situation would become different.
...
On the top of Longtou Mountain, Yang He looked at him coldly. There was no wind at this time and the sun was fierce. Only a piece of white mist was seen on the earth wall twenty steps away.
Wherever the smoke rose, the figures on the other side appeared and were distorted and weird, and even the figures of thieves attacking the defense line outside the wall could not be seen clearly.
In the smoke and dust, some black things flew up and down, landed on the ground and exploded violently, and a large number of firelights emerged. They were the enemies thrown out by both sides.
Even some tens of thousands of enemies fell into the wall, causing casualties to their own side after the explosion. Yang He saw some gunmen being blown to the ground, breaking their legs, breaking their arms, or other parts of his body being blown up. He rolled in a pool of blood and was wailing with sarcasm.
After being shot, the pain they endured was similar to that of bandits. Some of them were recruits, and they came to participate in this fierce war after training, and their cries were earth-shaking.
However, there are problems with the quality of the bandits and ten thousand enemies, especially on the lead line, some burn very fast, while others are very slow. Yang He saw that a ten thousand enemies were thrown at him on the front, and just fell into a group of several grenades.
Several grenadiers were so scared that they dodged away, but after waiting for a while, the leads of ten thousand enemies were still burning. A bold armored man picked up the pottery jar and threw it out of the wall. After a while, it exploded and a scream rang out there.
There was another enemy who had been sent to him. The brave armored armor was still picked up and thrown out. A few seconds later, a large ball of fire rose from the earthen wall, and there were continuous shrill screams.
Yang He had an appreciation in his eyes. The grenade team performed bravely in this battle, but unfortunately there were fewer people. The earth wall was three or four hundred steps long, and their team was fifty-five, and the number of people could be assigned to each section was small. It seemed that the scale would be expanded in the future.
Suddenly, there were a series of explosions on the other side of the gap in the north, and smoke and firelight covered the area. However, the thieves threw up as many as seven or eight enemy enemies. Then the gunners and gunmen over there were blown up to the point where they were flesh and blood. Two cannons were overturned, and the sub-guns that were placed aside were not detonated.
The bandits took the opportunity to rush over. On the way, they also threw several tens of thousands of enemies, which happened to fall into the shield formation at the gap.
As long as the Xin'an Army's shield formation is to defend against the flanks and face the attack of the enemy's cold weapons, it will be a one-sided massacre and crush. However, when facing the enemy's hot weapons, especially the extremely lethal hot weapons of ten thousand people...
Although the grenadiers in the northeast wall hurried away and defeated the bandits and soldiers who were rushing toward the howling with thousands of enemies, the place was already in a mess. Many shields and spearmen rolled in pools of blood and wailed shrillly, many of them were vague and bloody, and even broke their hands and feet.
Suddenly, another loud blast came from behind the front wall, but a ten thousand enemies were thrown over. The bold armor leader was still going to pick it up. However, the lead of the enemy was about to burn to the end. Before the armor leader could pick it up and threw it out, he rushed to the ten thousand enemies with one move.
The "boom" blood mist exploded, and the smoke flew with flesh and blood.
Yang He gritted his teeth. After all, artillery guns appeared and his side used heat weapons, they would inevitably encounter enemies with heat weapons.
Although the bandits are strategically ignorant, they have experienced many battles and are very smart in some tactics.
If they were defeated for the first time, they would immediately drive the servants in the camp to raise them as meat shields. The status of these servants was higher than that of the hungry people, but when they needed them, they would immediately be driven up without hesitation.
Like the hungry people who were driven to attack the city, they had no choice but to live or die. Those who did not follow immediately were killed on the ground, and it was not surprising that they were 100% casualties in one battle.
They blocked most of the platoons and cannons, allowing the old thieves in the rear to rush to the wall, and now they even threw tens of thousands of enemies, causing considerable casualties to their own side.
Seeing the medical team running desperately, rescued the wounded, shouting and killing on both sides of the wall was shocking, accompanied by the screams of the wounded soldiers on both sides, through the smoke, it seemed that some wooden short ladders were still put on the top of the earth wall.
"Mr.." Zhang Chugong looked solemn and looked at Yang He beside him. Standing on the top of the mountain, the situation was vivid in his mind. He saw that the thief was forcing the wall and threw many tens of thousands of enemies in. The gunmen behind the wall were killed and injured from time to time.
The gun soldiers were excited at this time and they all shot desperately, but some were frightened. It would be fine if there was a wall to block it. If the thief rushed into the wall, I wonder if they could block it.
All the cavalry on the mountain had dismounted. Shields were raised in front of them, and people were shooting arrows from time to time behind. Among the cavalry, Jiuye, Qian Sanniang, Li Ruwan and others were still calm and steadily shot arrows. Every time they shot, a faint figure fell down in the smoke.
Yan Bin, Zhang Dan, Han Shangliang and others gritted their teeth, and many people looked shocked, especially the leaders of Guanshan and Longtou, and some even looked like earthy.
Suddenly the war became cruel, especially some people who were bombed by thieves and thousands of enemies. They were carried by stretchers, dripping blood, broken hands and feet, and the pain was chilling.
It is very refreshing to use the enemy to attack and bomb the fire. If the enemy also uses it, it will not be a comfortable thing.
The thieves were attacking wildly. It seemed that they even showed signs of attacking into the earth wall. Can the village heroes at the foot of the mountain stop?
Liu Qilang and the twenty-five cavalry were still calm. Liu Qilang looked below and surprised him without surprise. After all, there were gunpowder cannons everywhere. It was normal for thieves to use firearms. However, the opponents that Lord Yang had met had just begun.
As he knew, it would be fine if the thieves were offered, but if they met Tartars, they would not only ride and shoot bows and arrows sharply, but also have a large number of muskets and cannons in the army.
If this battle can be won, the Xin'an Army's bloody courage will be improved to a higher level. Liu Qilang feels that Lord Yang will be sure to fight against the Tartars in the future.
If such a small bandit cannot win, Liu Qilang feels that his hope of taking revenge will be slim.
...
The people around him seemed anxiously that Yang He was as heavy as water, and he just looked at the entire battlefield in detail.
In his arrangement, Minister Yang, Han Guaner, and San Zheng guarded the front, that is, the wall section and gap on the east side.
With Han Daxia, Zhang Songtao's second general and sixth general guarding the wall section and gap on the south side.
With Luo Xianjue, Yang Qian's fourth general and fifth general guarding the wall section and gap on the north side.
At this time, the gap in the north was blocked by the Fourth General Officer again. The Fourth General Officer and the Fourth General Officer and the Fourth General Officer and the Two Teams were on standby. Some reserve gunners also rushed over and continued to fire with artillery fire. More grenades gathered there.
However, looking at the entire line of defense, some thieves were indeed going to attack the wall. Yang He was not surprised. Later generations used machine guns and rifles, and there were times when they fought hand-to-hand combat, let alone a smoothbore gun that took a long time to fire.
In particular, the bandits used the people or raising them as flesh shields, and most of the casualties were to be borne by these people. The rest of the true thieves only endured a small number of casualties and could indeed attack them.
However, his guns were fast, and there were artillery and tens of thousands of enemies. Yang He estimated that in this short period of time, in close contact, the sword and shield soldiers and powerful soldiers of the attackers of the mountain had already suffered a lot of casualties, and should have reached 20%.
But at this time they were all in madness and excitement, and with the smoke surrounding them, they could not see the situation clearly. As long as they killed a lot of damage again, they should be able to wake up and collapse.
He quickly issued an order, the killers of the first, second and fourth generals continued to defend the gap, and as the three, six and fifth generals stationed in the team, the killers of the third, six and fifth generals were ready to fight at any time.
If the thief jumped into the wall, they would force them to attack and press them to the wall in a semicircular form.
The gun soldiers guarding the wall do not need to fight. Wherever there are thieves jumping in at the end of the wall, the gun soldiers will retreat wherever they are.
But each general winged tiger gunner can shoot and kill enemies.
The Xin'an army had a total of 90 winged tiger gunmen, each gun team was about five, one was the first and two gun teams, and five guards from each headquarters also used winged tiger guns, one was the first and six were the first and ninety.
These people all use the three-eyed tiger gun in the fuse, but because it is difficult to load, they are only used at critical moments.
The cavalry sentry team on the mountain also pay attention to it, and if a thief jumps into the wall, he will shoot and kill him immediately.
There were also grenadiers who continued to throw ten thousand enemies outside the wall to block the enemies they rushed into.
...
"Roar up!"
The smoke of gunpowder penetrates the nasal cavity and is extremely spicy. White fog is everywhere, and no one can be seen several feet away.
There was smoke, and it seemed to be full of burnt and blood. It looked vaguely through the white smoke. There were corpses and screaming thieves along the two trenches along the earth wall and on the slopes.
However, unlike earlier, there were fewer corpses and wounded people here, most of them were swords and shield soldiers, fierce soldiers, and even archers and bomb droppers.
Then, from time to time, when fire flashed from time to time, and when large smoke continued to spew out, thieves would cry and fall down from time to time, pounce on the slopes and trenches, blood rolling out.
The remaining thieves were still screaming excitedly. Many of them forced themselves to the second trench and instantly they took dozens of short pedals.
A thief holding a big stick took the lead and rushed up from a pedal. As soon as he got on the wall, a powerful arrow shot on him.
He screamed, falling from the wall and falling into the trench, with a more hoarse howling.
The first-rate thief's sword and shield rushed up from a short ladder. He protected him with a leather shield. As soon as he got on the wall, several heavy arrows shot, but they were all blocked by his shield.
The sword and shield hand was about to jump off when a sound of sound came and a gun hit him. The thief's shield shattered instantly. At the same time, a blood hole in his chest screamed and rolled down the short ladder.
However, there were too many thieves climbing the wall. They climbed up from the short stairs of the pedal. Some were shot by arrows, and some fell down. However, a thick thieves, holding a heavy shield and a large sword with a cold light, jumped off the wall.
Another thief was wearing a red-taxed felt hat and a thick felt cloak, and he jumped down with a knife and shield.
"Break through!"
The cheers were earth-shaking.
The continuous stream of thieves and swords and shields and soldiers climbed up from the short pedal ladder and jumped into the wall.
...
Qiu Shiqing looked up. He was huddled under the ditch, his face and body were covered with blood, and there were several corpses beside him, either distorted in shape or wide-eyed eyes.
Through the faint smoke of gunpowder, these people were either thrust or tilted, and many of them had wooden thorns on them, and dark brown blood was solidified on them, which was shocking.
The position where Qiu Shiqing was squatting was barely free of wooden thorns, but two corpses were penetrated from half a step left or right. The wooden thorns were sharp and chilling.
Qiu Shiqing listened for a while and stood up. However, after a while, he hesitated and retracted.
He shrank and sat on the body of the big stick hand, trying to shrink his body into a ball.
